Photocell relays

Designed to switch street lighting on and off automatically; they can also serve as a light-dependent control element for other equipment.

ФР101

ФР102

Photocell relay (dusk switch)

Distinctive features:

  • Designed to switch street lighting on and off automatically; it can also serve as a light-dependent control element for other equipment.
  • ФР101 — photocell relay with a solid-state output.
  • ФР102 – photocell relay with a relay output.
  • The light-sensing element is a ФД-1 photodiode or an СФ2-5 photoresistor.
  • The relay has a manual pickup level adjustment.
